Savvy is the poster child for milktoast . Don’t heed him

I am ok with Savvy. While I may disagree with him from time to time, he has strong beliefs and opinions and perhaps likes to express them more passionately than some others would like. But that's ok, it makes for an interesting message board.

By the way, the word is "milquetoast." An idiom that really has nothing to do with either milk or toast. It is derived from a comic book character from many years ago, Caspar Milquetoast, who was said to "be a man who speaks softly and gets hit with a big stick." I don't think anyone would accuse Savvy of speaking softly, though I am sure there are some here who would like to hit him with a big stick. LOL!

Yes. I stand by this 100%. Ive been way out in front of the rest of the industry on a number of issues regarding big picture ND football. My analysis IS better (and its free). Enjoy.

LSU#10 vs TAMU#15 discussion

After I posted this thread I ended up not finishing the game and going out for the night

I checked the score a few hours later and I'm shocked to see that LSU got completely ran over in the second half.

I think LSU is a really good program with some really good players incoming in 2025. I think they're going to be a legit force going forward under Brian Kelly

But they weren't a "force" in the 2nd half last night! It's fun to watch B K squirm.

The poll and why it's such a sham...

Well, we've had one common opponent, Stanford. And we beat them worse - 49-7 vs 40-14.

They've played a bunch of bottom feeders from the ACC.

They have Louisville, Virginia Tech and Pitt left in conference - so they finally start playing some of the better ACC teams the next few weeks.

Stanford is just one game and that’s just the score you cited.

I already said that ND has better wins in terms of “who”. Clemson crushed everyone they beat. Clemson crushed Appalachian State where ND lost to NIU. They’re pretty darn equal.

Haha dude you I dont know why someone like you is throwing stones around here. I remember when you were pounding your chest that you knew more, had better analysis, and were more plugged in to ND football than any beat writer or anyone on the board.
When challenged to show your bonafides you couldn't break down scheme or X's & O's. You didnt know sh!t about recruiting other than bitching that ND wasnt landing enough 5 stars. And all you can bring to the table is an obscure F+ site ranking site that you hold as gospel and form your worldview. You were dogging ND all year until F+ put them into the top 10. Take a seat sport.

Yes he did. So did others. And I've said he's a 1st round talent

I didn't say he would get drafted in the 1st

You're grasping at straws because you're taking a beating the last 2 days

You bragged on Mccord and he had one of the worst games in cfb history. You bragged on Nussmeir and LSUs offense and he and they gave the game away. Just giving the ball to AM. RL is playing much better and you can't admit it. It's eating you up inside. You said what would we do and RL do against a top 10 team, I said we already played one. You said nah they aren't that good. Guess what, they are now top 10. You brought up the narrative about voters and having teams jump us and your stupid moral comment. We didn't get jumped and we moved up again. You said Auburn had a better offense than us, ours is 20th in scoring. Theirs is 71st. Ouch.

It's been a rough couple days for you little buddy. You're wrong so much you're getting like Chase

But all you want to talk about is 1st round

🤣🤣🤣

I'm an ND fan, I'm happy they win, and I'll be happier if they get into the playoffs, but unlike you I'm realistic, You're a fraud, mentally challenged and now a coward. Not even sure why I'm wasting my time going back and forth with you. You're not worth it, my life is a far more valuable to me than dealing with idiots like you.

Already did. Former head coaches and assistant coaches would be better than the Vegas computers at ranking teams

We can start with Nick Saban and Urban Meyer and go from there

They know more about football than Vegas
Click to expand...
No, you didn’t
You’re a liar.

I stated that Vegas is the best at ranking the teams
You then stated that others who “know the game, who watch EVERY game” know better than Vegas when it comes to ranking the teams.

So I asked you to identify those people you referenced, “ the people who know the game, who watch EVERY game.

YOU STATED THAT FORMER HEAD COACHES AND ASSISTANT COACHES WOULD BE BETTER THAN VEGAS.

If that’s the case, why aren’t they doing it?
If they’re better than Vegas, they’d be making a fortune

But they’re not better than Vegas

And You’re a liar and a fraud

Let’s start with the fact that Nick Saban and Urban Meyer don’t watch every game.

In addition, they just know how to coach, they don’t know how to create spreads, over/unders, etc., etc., and they don’t have a clue on how to rank the teams.

So again I’ll ask you, identified the people who know more than Vegas when it comes to ranking the teams

Alternatively, you can admit that you don’t know what you’re talking about and that your statement that people who “ know the game, who watch EVERY game” Know better than Vegas on how to rank the teams.

You’re a fraud and you lack the character and integrity to admit that you were wrong

Notre Dame #5 in FPI https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi

This is great news.

These advanced algorithms take a lot of predictive data into consideration.

A #5 ranking in these algorithms equates to future-wins more than wins themselves do.

ND is a legit team this year. When you consider all of the injuries and the lack of top 100 talent (relative to NDs competitors) Marcus Freeman deserves to be at the top of any coach of the year awards.

Its too bad ND is playing such a bad schedule because with a top 5 FPI ranking they could probably hang with the majority of teams in the country this year. And would be earning way more respect with a traditionally competitive ND schedule (e.g. pre ACC era)

Clemson is crushing people. ND lost to NIU. That’s why it evens out for me.

ND has the best wins in terms of “who”, but Clemson has been more impressive with how dominant they’ve been over Power 4 teams. My inclination would probably be to pick Clemson to win over ND but having Leonard at QB would make me re think that.

That’s why I want one more week of data to separate the two.
